Аромат хороший, хмелевой по европейски, также есть много солода и даже намеки на карамель и сливовые нотки. Цвет красивый, темно карамельный, пенка играет и переливается в бокале. Вкус сразу ощущается как крепкий, тело весьма плотное. Во вкусе собственно ипа, но не горькая а весьма питкая несмотря на градусы и крепость. Послевкусие умеренно горькое, нотки карамели и легкой хвои. В целом просто очень понравилось, удивительно но зашло.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a murky amber/orange colour with a large thick foamy off white head. Aroma is very unusual and fruity with stoney fruits, some melon and notes of candy. Taste is again very fruity with more stoney fruits, apricots and peaches, more melon, some floral, tangerines, marmalade, tea and peppery spice. Slight orange pith on a hoppy finish. Full body, low carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Very good unique tasting beer which got better and better with each sip.

Bottle delivered from the Offie, Leicester. Orange/brown, hazy and almost completely flat. Aroma of TCP, golden syrup, notes of papaya and tamarind. Perfect taste, simultaneously syrupy sweet and intensely astringent. The astringency increases to the finish with notes of fruited caramel and more TCP in the aftertaste. Low but not completely absent carbonation. A revelation.

Large foamy white head stayed on an unclear light amber coloured still body. Bubble gum aroma. Medium bodied, sharp & gassy in the mouth with dry clean back. Confectionery, stone fruit, hoppy, bitter under ripe fruit & melon tastes with big tangy fruity finish. This is good!

Best before 3-03. Orange colored, with bits of yeast floating through the beer. Aroma has apple, vanilla and oak and is slightly acidic. Malty flavor with hops and some apple. The alcohol is prominent and there is a rough vinegar-like sour edge to this beer. Maybe some wild yeast has spoiled the fun.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - golden orange with neat lacing. Nose - orange, medicinal and a boiled sweet thing going on. Taste - perhaps infected. Medicinal and sherbet. Palate - infected! Overall - probably goes very well on cask.

Bottle shared with Stuu666 and Ashton McCobb. Pours clear golden with a short-lived thin white head. Aromas of orange, sherbet, light infection maybe? Sticking plasters. Swarfega. Bitter taste. There might be a good beer under here.
